City of L.A. opens local assistance centers in response to storms

As part of ongoing recovery efforts for residents impacted by recent heavy storms, the city of Los Angeles Thursday will open the first of three “one-day” local assistance centers.

Each center will be a “one-stop shop” where Angelenos can ask questions and obtain information on recovery services and assistance available from government agencies and nonprofits, according to the city’s Emergency Management Department.

“Our recovery began the second the storm started,” Mayor Karen Bass said. “I hope Angelenos join us in getting the word out about these center so that Angelenos are aware about this important opportunity for assistance.”

The locations of these centers are as following:

— Feb. 15, noon to 8 p.m., Mid-Valley Senior Citizen Center, 8825 Kester Ave., Panorama City;

— Feb. 16, noon to 8 p.m., South Los Angeles Sports Activity Center, 7020 S. Figueroa St.; and

— Feb. 17, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Pan Pacific Senior Activity Center, 141 S. Gardner St.

City officials are also encouraging residents impacted by the powerful storms that occurred early February to fill out the L.A. County’s damage assessment survey.
